Three years ago I was suppose to have neck surgery. I had an MRI done prior to scheduling my surgery which the results showed that I had 4 herniated disks, one was bulging and I also had stenosis of the spinal cord. One disk was close to touching my spinal cord. The surgeon said that if I was to be in an accident, I would be paralyzed from the neck down. I started and completed the decompression therapy treatments. After that I got an MRI to confirm the treatment, which showed that my neck had stabilized. I was even in an accident last November 2007, and doing fine, even though my van was totaled. I have been seeing Dr. Atencio every three months to use the decompression device which of course insurance still doesn't pay for. But after seeing the results, how can I refuse....not to mentioned seeing Dr. Atencio and his friendly staff. I will keep going as long as I need to...would be nice if insurance would pay, especially at these times. Gracias!
